The worst of the people are the ones who people avoid due to their vile nature
A man asked permission to enter upon Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Admit him. What an evil brother of his people or a son of his people." But when the man entered, the Prophet ﷺ spoke to him in a very polite manner. ˹When that person left˺ I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, you had said what you had said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Aishah! The worst people are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their abuse."
اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوِ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَلاَنَ لَهُ الْكَلاَمَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قُلْتَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْكَلاَمَ؟ قَالَ: «أَىْ عَائِشَةُ، إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ النَّاسُ أَوْ وَدَعَهُ النَّاسُ اتِّقَاءَ فُحْشِهِ۔»
